DUDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this is amazing news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting soooooooooo longggggggggggggg and I'm so getting one as soon as the sales go live!!!!!! Feel like I've been very patient and deserve a reward 
though with all the rumours about the Steam Deck 2 I'm not sure whether it's still smart to hold off... what kind of news do we have on that?
Oddly enough I think the Steam Deck's been a thing in NZ for a long time... I've got a friend who moved from NZ earlier this year and he said that he's had a Steam Deck since super early days (don't know whether he got it off a grey market or something though)

I keep thinking they might say "oh yea NZ too, we didn't think it was worth mentioning", but that hope is fading.

Yes you can parallel import and have been able to do so for a long time but you pay a premium and get no support or warranty. I want to buy it from Steam.
